I had researched this story a while back, but the 10 rules are the main thing. My dogs are an essential part of my life. I think they get more important the older I get. My dogs all came from a rescue. Two of them came to me as senior dogs. Many/most folks want to adopt young dogs or pups. Can't blame anyone for that. But, if you have ever given an older dog a loving home for their final years, however few they may be, you will be humbled by the experience.



Edited to add: The dog on my right in the picture with her head in my lap passed away a month after this picture was taken at age 12. Her headstone is in one of our pastures alongside another of my previous best dogs.

Oh yeah, my Dad did that for a big Malamute. Then shot the SOB when he ate the neighbors Siberian Husky.
